Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 901st career goal with a late winner in Portugal's 2-1 victory over Scotland in the Nations League, marking another agonizing defeat for the Scots. Scott McTominay opened the scoring for Scotland in the seventh minute with a powerful header, giving them hope for a rare win against Portugal. However, Bruno Fernandes equalized early in the second half, and Ronaldo clinched the victory with a close-range goal two minutes before full-time. Despite a valiant effort and solid performances from goalkeeper Angus Gunn, Scotland suffered their third consecutive late defeat, having previously lost to Hungary and Poland. Coach Steve Clarke's side displayed resilience but struggled to maintain their lead against Portugal's relentless pressure. The defeat leaves Scotland without a win in their first two matches of the Nations League.
